The identification of brain cancers early and accurately is critical for prompt management and better patient outcomes. Significant advancement has been made in the invention of computer-aided detection systems that use sophisticated imaging methods and ML algorithms for automated brain tumor diagnosis in recent years. We provide a strategy for classifying brain tumor images into Pituitary, Glioma, and Meningioma tumors using a Sugeno fuzzy integral ensemble approach with three transfer learning approaches, namely ResNet-164, SqueezeNet, and DenseNet-201. In terms of accuracy, the proposed fuzzy ensemble strategies exceed each separate transfer learning approach. The proposed DenseNet-201 combined with SFI ensemble model has an accuracy rating of 99.19%. This framework was used to detect brain tumors in the current study, but it might potentially be built and used for medical imaging assessments of other illnesses. This solution improves the diagnostic process's efficiency and automation in the healthcare business, saving time and improving accuracy in brain tumor detection.
